Bathroom Styles

For decades the stepchild of interior design, the bathroom has become a stylistically important part of the house. Freed from task-oriented designs of yore, today's rooms express their owner's personalities and tastes. They can be glamorous or frilly, sumptuous or spare, grand or compact. Design themes can range from ultramodern to country---and just about everything in between. Above all, contemporary baths are much more than just the sum of their parts---tub/shower, sink, and toilet. They are rooms unto themselves. Anyone hoping to redesign a bath or powder room can appreciate this challenge. With so many design choices available, where do you start? Bathroom Styles was created with this problem in mind. Splendidly illustrated with more than 230 full-color photos, it's an ideas book with essential information on design styles from contemporary to traditional to retro---even men's and kid's baths are included. You'll also learn about designers, architects, and hardware manufacturer---just the sort of information you'd need to make smart buying choices. Reading Bathroom Styles is like having a design consultant at your fingertips. And besides being a handy resource, it's a genuine pleasure to browse through!, ISBN13: 9780785312734 ISBN10: 0785312730 Material Type: hardcover
